THEATER REVIEW

Some of the best acting advice I ever received came from my high school drama coach.

"You have to be fearless," she said. "Anyone can get up on stage and sing. But until you let go of yourself and trust the music to move through you, you'll never connect with the audience." ...

And while I'm not sure Mrs. Pinkerton totally would approve of the provocative content in the Tony Award-winning "Spring Awakening," I have no doubt she would award the dedicated performers on stage at Street Theatre an "A" for fearlessness.
